Ceuta: Madrid to transfer 500 vulnerable youths to mainland
Spanish officials have come up with a plan to transfer unaccompanied youth in the exclave Ceuta to mainland Spain. Mostly girls, they will be placed in foster homes as well as under government care.
Spanish authorities plan to transfer around 500 particularly vulnerable unaccompanied youths from the North African Spanish exclave of Ceuta to mainland Spain. The Ministry of Youth and Children has devised a mechanism that will allow child protection organizations to take in and care for the most vulnerable individuals, including girls, in adapted facilities on the mainland.
Spain's Migration Minister Elma Saiz emphasized that the welfare of the children must be protected at all costs, and a royal decree will establish the binding and solidarity-based reception of minors by all regions.
